My wife, to this day, shuts off the shower and then immediately steps out while water is still running off her soaking wet body, inevitably creating a puddle in the bathroom.
“Honey, why don’t you drip for like five seconds, or even grab the towel and give yourself a quick dab before you get out?”
The first time I told her this she just stared at me for a solid 20s while her brain rebooted. But then her “never admit anything ever under any circumstances” instinct kicked in and she responded “wow are you really policing my shower habits?”
So anyway, now she knows better, but still does it because marriage is about compromise, or something.
I give myself knife hands over my body before going for the towel. Towel stays significantly more dry and I can use it several times before it needs a wash.
That’s a really shitty way to talk about your partner.Is this supposed to be funny or something? I’m neurodivergent and can’t tellsomeone can totally love their partner and still find some of the stuff they do infuriating.
also my oldest kid did this. it’s infuriating! (but i love him.)
Reminds me of the guy that spent his entire life sitting on the toilet with the seat up because he was told “girls use it with the seat down and boys have the seat up”.
It wasn’t until he got comfortable enough with his partner that when she saw him and asked why he wasn’t sitting on the seat did it even occur to him that he could.

Unless it’s your kink, most people don’t use the toilet in front of their spouse.
Edit: It sounds like a lot of straight people expel waste in front of their partners.
That doesn’t match my personal experience at all.
Using the toilet with each other present has been a thing in every relationship I’ve been in. And no, at no point was that a kink of either one of us.
Same. I know of no couple in my circle where using the toilet in each others presence is anything else but just plain normal. They all do it.
Edited for clarification, because words = hard
so everyone always locks the door? even if one person needs something from the washroom they would always wait till the other person finishes?
I’m an idiot. I meant the exact opposite and have edited the sentence to make it clear.
Every single couple I know uses the toilet in front of each other.
Why?
Why not?
So, one day I’m hanging out with my friend, and he introduces me to his friend. Middle-aged guy, seems pretty nice, but he’s having a shit day. Why? Because he had to copy something from an email, and he spent about an hour, flipping back and forth between two windows, copying the email into a Word document or something. I was dumbfounded, and I said “Why didn’t you just copy-paste?” The guy stalks off with his head down, muttering under his breath.
My boss will purposely screen shot text he writes so I have to rewrite it and not copy paste… not fun.
Text capture saves hours and hours
I use Microsoft PowerToys for that and dozens of other QOL life hacks.
I’m pretty sure that requires admin access to enable though.
You need an OCR tool.
Has anyone here ever taken a cold shower on purpose? It’s quite invigorating once one acclimate.
Only time I intentionally took a cold shower was after a long bike ride, wearing formal clothing, in the middle of summer. It was freeing and very cold.
Why the formal clothing?
Didn’t that make it hard to shower?
There was a post with something similar but with the water pressure being too high in the shower. Like, what? Just don’t open it all the way then?!
Depends on the tap
That does tend to be how you control the pressure yes
Im gonna be the AkShUalLy guy here and say this isnt always the case…. There are shower controls that turn on immediately to full pressure and then adjust for temp as you keep turning, no way to actually control the water pressure without just having fully cold water. These have been around forever…
I installed a newer Delta one in my house a few years ago (2021 or so). They now have a feature where the water temperature is always whatever you set it- no fluctuations of scalding water when someone flushes a toilet or random freezes if someone turns on hot water elsewhere in the house. Or even 2 showers/baths fighting for hot water at the same time. So it’s like an auto-adjusting thing that happens inside that requires max input pressure to work right. Of course, i always want max water pressure, so this was a win-win for me!
To note- this wasnt a crazy expensive, high-end model…it was basically what most of the single knob/lever shower controls are now.
